Celebration of life ideas

A celebration of life can take any shape. A gathering in a country pub. A picnic in a favourite garden. A long lunch with the people who knew them best.

Consider their favourite music, their favourite drink, the books they pressed into other people's hands. Build the ceremony around them, not around tradition.

Bring in voices — short readings from grandchildren, a song from a friend, a story told around a table. The more of them the better.
